Compare List To File Names?
Jan 12, 2011
So in my Textbox I have a list of (folder) names, such as:
Folder1
Folder2
Folder3
I want to compare THAT list to another folder somewhere in someones documents (no specific folder). So let's say we compare it to the 'Arts' folder, which contain these folders inside:
Folder1
Folder2
I want to put all of those folder names in the Art folder into a list. And then I want to compare the folder names in my Textbox to the folder names in the Arts folder, and Folder3 is missing in the Art folder, so I want the textbox to contain:
Folder3
...to tell you that you are missing Folder 3 in your Art folder.

I need to parse a file name and compare to names in a data base. The file name has an underscore "_" as the delimiter. I need everything before the underscore.

I have several groups of files with idential names, but the files inside may or may not have identcal names, and may differ only in the size or date stamp. I want to combine them to save all unique directory names, and unique file names, and if the date/sizes are unique, then add some number on the end of the file name to make them unique as well. Only idential file sizes and names and dates will be discarded. How do you open directories to compare directory/file names and other properties?

how to list names from a file, as you enter (spell) the name. eg if you enter 'b' all 'b' names will appear. If you next enter 'e' then all 'be' names will appear. repeating this until the last letters are entered. eg 'bell' will show all names starting with 'bell'. You can then select from the list the correct name?

How would i read a set of names out of a file and then append them to a list box?I am not guaranteed a pair will be on the same line, and not guaranteed that a line would contain a maximum of one pair(i.e., it might have three pairs or it might have one and a half pairs - a first name, last name, and another first name whose matching last name would be on the next line). A line may also be blank.All of this needs to be in a visual basic format.

I am trying to populate a combobox with a list of filenames from a selected directory. I am getting the directory OK but the combobox instead of having a list of 8 files max shown when I select the combobox has a full list of all the files selected from that directory.

Here is the code for my program. We are making a membership list and it needs to load with just the names in the txt file that is in the debug bin. The txt file is set up in one column and holds the member name and the next line is member number and so on. Information is read into an "array of structures" and the display is supposed to be ONLY the names in the listbox on load. This is my problem. I had it displaying all th txt file info and I just need the names. I tried what you will see in the code but it is not working and my book is less then helpful when it comes to examples and/or knowledge on the subject. Though it could be too many hours spent trying to get it to work.
Imports System.IO
Public Class frmMemberList
Structure Members
Dim member As String
Dim number As Integer
End Structure

I am used to C like languages such as C#. I added a list box with a list of names. In the code behind I added the below code. When I run the code I am getting the MessageBox but it will state "UserName favorite color is " but does not show the color. I thought it might be misspelled or non-matching names but this is not the issue due to the names being correct.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub lstData_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lstData.SelectedIndexChanged

I have a program that will compare an array of grocery list items glist and an array of coupon item clist.When I compare the two and if there is a match somewhere in the array I want to have a picturebox visible.When there is no match, I want the picture box not to be visible. [code] The code seems to work great until I come to the else statement.When the code finds a match it displays the picture box and the msgbox without error, but as soon as the message box is cleared, even though i've input it as an ELSE statement, the picturebox goes false again.Does anyone have any idea of how I can "hold" the picturebox to stay visible while the match between the arrays exists?

I have two lists with strings as follows
list1=[Information,want,wall,east]
list2=[castle,information,want,wall,fortification]
List 2 is bigger than list 1. I am trying to compare each item of the list with each other as follows. The problem is that not all items are compared since Index1 <> list1.count. If I take this out I am getting an error ("index our of range").
For index1 As Integer = 0 To list2.Count - 1
If index1 <> list1.Count Then
if list1.item(index1) <> list2.item(index2) then

I have 2 lists of classes with thousands of elements. Each class has the same structure.
I need to synchronize the 2 lists by comparing the version, the dateandtime and if they have been labelled to be deleted in one list.
is there any trick to make this very long process as fast as possible apart from splitting the work on threads?

I have 4 string lists as follows
Dim input_list As New List(Of String) Dim input_POS As New List(Of String) Dim trigger_list As New List(Of String) Dim trigger_POS As New List(Of String)
I want to compare the contents of the input list (containing words (e.g., want, the) etc. to the ones of the trigger list (containign again words) and if a same entry (i.e. word) get the POS for both input word and trigger word from the relevant lists and put them into a property list. For example
input list (want, the, right)trigger list(want, there, wait)input list POS (verb, article, adjective)trigger list POS (verb, pronoun, verb)
Output property list (want:verb, want:verb) (only want is common between input and trigger list). Then I need to conduct a test between the two property items for similarites. If they are exactly the same, the code should output a confirmation "i.e., Yes" into a textbox. If not the code should output a "No" plus the contents of the property list into a textbox.

This is a 2 part question about list comparisons. I see lots of threads on comparing two separate lists, but I need to know how to compare values in a single list.
Part 1:I have a bunch of string values that I am first splitting and then adding to two separate lists. The strings look something like this... 3-ABC, 6-DEC, 11-RFG, 6-ABC, 12-ABC, etc... So, with the code below(vb) I am splitting the numerical portion of the string and putting it into myLeadQtys(saved for later). I then take the rest of the string and put it in another list (myLeadVals):
Dim myLeadVals As New List(Of String)
Dim myLeadQtys As New List(Of String)
Dim strMtextValue As String

I have a question about comparing values inside of a List. I have a single list of strings. Inside the list are multiple values. The values are arranged so they can be dumped into a spreadsheet.
Example:
Private ListOfStrings As New List(Of String)
ValueA(0), ValueB(1), ValueC(2) 'These three values are the same as the three values in the 4th "row" below
ValueD(3), ValueE(4), ValueF(5)
ValueG(6), ValueH(7), ValueI(8)
ValueA(9), ValueB(10), ValueC(11) 'These three values are the same as the three values in the 1st "row" above. Since this is a duplicate, I need to add a "count" of value 2 and then delete the values of this row from the List. Etc...
Each line above represents a "row" in a spreadsheet. All three values in each "row" have the potential to be the same. So, I need a way to A) Compare and count all of the common "rows" (using only the first value from each row) and B) If common "rows" occur, I need to delete all but one row from the List. ListOfStrings.Remove ?

I've build a list of Strings from files. The list itself is working fine (tried it by having ListBoxes and other controls loading its items from there just to make sure that this is not the issue). Now, I am using this list of strings to compare a Text in a TextBox1 while typing to determine if this TextBox1.Text already exists in the list. I am using the following code (where "s" stands for my List items):
Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
If TextBox1.TextLength < "1" Then
Button6.Enabled = False
ToolStripStatusLabel1.Image = My.Resources.pic_Add_Warning
ToolStripStatusLabel1.ForeColor = Color.Red

I am using VB.NET in VS 2008 Professional. I wish to have my user select the server where the SQL Database resides. I can get a list of the SQL databases, but I am stuck on how to display the servers currently available to the user? I want to add the list of servers available into a list box and have them select the server.
The thing I am trying to duplicate is the drop down list of server names when you are doing an Add Connection from the Data Connections node of the Server Explorer.

I am trying to find out if an instance of an application (not vb.net) is already running - because I will want to start it but I don't want to start it if it is already running. I have found a solution to check if a process is running:
Dim proc As Integer = Process.GetProcessesByName(ProcessName).GetUpperBound(0) + 1
and return True if >=1 (or just the process number). My problem is, this is a third-party application, and its process name is not just a name but it contains a version number (which I may not know at run time), and it also seems to add a *32 (so probably a *64 if it is installed in x64 ?).
I need to get a list of running processes, by name, and test if "processname" is a substring of the name.
But I haven't been successful in getting a list of names, only process id's.

I have a table in a Access Database that I'm loading into a VB.NET program and I want a way to get the name of each of the columns into a list of Strings. Googling has shown that this is much easier with a SQL database, but that doing so in Access is much more difficult. I came across this question Is there a query that will return all of the column names in a Microsoft Access table? Which gives a way to do it, but when I try the code it just populates my list with a bunch of "System.Collections.Generic.List'1[System.String]"
This is my adapted code.
Public Function GetColumns(ByRef database As String, ByRef table_name As String, ByRef columns As List(Of String)) As Integer
Dim com As OleDbConnection
Try
com = New OleDbConnection(database)
com.Open()
